Here Again, I Begin

I have been doing things and keeping busy. I am sure you have, too. I have hung out on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter much less than I once did. I find I believe Social Media is less than sociable. I am opting for more conversations by phone and meetings in person.

I have some things to share, and I hope you will be informed and interested. I have recently completed the first draft (a very rough one) of a book project I hope to finish by year’s end. I have to flesh it out, design, intensively edit, and possibly publish it. I will be updating progress here as I continue.

I have a concept cover, but it may, and likely, will change:

I am visiting my son, Alex, in Brownsville, Texas, where he works for Space X. It is a real treat seeing him daily after he spent so much time at a distance. I caught him and Maui on the beach recently:

I wrote a few journal pages today. I only have my phone to photograph them with, which is not the best input device, but I hope you can enjoy them.

Gratitude List:

I am thankful:

1. Time shared with loved ones.

2. Being alive and at least somewhat healthy. There are pains, but not so much that I cannot smile.

3. Adventures of time and space.

4. Love given and recieved.

5. Creativity in various and plentiful forms.

As a prompt: Pick something recently seen or done and create a work around it. Use whatever media you choose, then share it if you like. Your story has meaning and is important.

That is all I have for now. I hope life is treating you well. Thank you for sharing your time here on Haphazard Creative. If you found it pleasant give a like, comment, and/or share with someone you believe would find this content to their liking.

Go Ahead

Everything is hard
Even simple things challenge –
So be Miracles –
Let creativity guide,
Expect the impossible
Dream to become True;
Love beyond extreme measure,
Life, precious treasure.

Prompt: Create something that attests to the miraculous happenings occurring around and to you.

Gratitude List –
I am grateful:

1. My second mammogram cleared me and alleviated a great deal of stress.
2. I have stopped drinking diet soda which is tremendous because, since childhood, I drank them, sometimes more than a case a day.
3. I went to the grocery this week and purchased some much-needed food.
4. I am writing consistently.
5. I weigh 135 to 140 pounds.

Miscellaneous Strange

Entry Thirteen – 2023 Creativity Project

I am working in different modes because my feeling of today is eerie strangeness.

Using multiple devices is weird. Phone, computer, back and forth, wtf, where did it go? Ah…

Gratitude List:

1. We are safe thus far.
2. My best friend, Reba.
3. It is no longer 2022.
4. A bit of interchangeable knowledge.
5. Support when I am LOST.

PROMPT: Find some quality of your day, apply it universally to today’s creation. Create!

Pages, Pages

Entry Twelve – 2023 Creativity Project

I explored it all in my journal, but there remains so much to say. I am fighting to stand today.

I am at home on journal pages, but even so, there are things I never bring myself to say. How would I keep you? You would turn away.

Always & Ever,
Jo Ann

What Is, So Is

Entry Eleven – 2023 Creativity Project

Some days we find difficult to incorporate into the woven fabric that expands to welcome love and life. The oceans of time and space try our pace, to haste, with little or no grace. Still, we face it all with courage borrowed from other days, whether past or future only living will divulge.
